Well, it worked for me and I am happy worked for you, but for some reason it did not work for Minder (aka bullant, webdev1958, Mishu, iBall and other pseuodonyms under which he has been banned from this forum previously). He should continue taking the tablets.

All the code given in this post has been tested and is intended to address the question asked.
Unless stated otherwise it is not just a demonstration.

i haven't noticed Minder around, so let's not shoot the messenger just yet.
While the disconnected double direct quote is questionable netiquette, you DID have a typo in your posted code, whether it quirked out or not.

The "good samaritan act" of offering volunteer help relieves any liability stemming from accidents, which are bound to happen.

it's not impossible or even unlikely that the code was both tested and got messed up during the posting; i know i sometimes rework whitespace and comments in the reply box and have been known to delete or add a semi-colon erroneously before. i think it's both understandable and forgivable.

zingers can be fun, but you're a landmark here, a coder i look up to.
imho, you need not resort to ad-hominem backlashes against noobs.

Might I ask you to kindly indicate exactly what the typo was? Stupidly I have been unable to identify it myself.

I don't think that Minder (formerly bullant etc.) qualifies for the appellation "noob". A mod intended to ban him (already) but by mistake ticked the wrong box and awarded him an infraction only. Only two more and we will see the end of him (for a while).
